Family Care Midwives

The experience and care was amazing I never felt like a number here. Everytime I needed someone to assist me one of them were there. I was close to my due date and couldn't make a sound once the answering system told me to do a recording, my contractions were strong. Within minutes my midwife knew it was me based on the timing of what should be my delivery date and met me at the hospital within an hour. She was there, checked me, held my hand, let me cry, rubbed my back, and safely delivered my beautiful baby boy. She let me cut his cord, and snuggle with him immediately. I was so happy for her being there. There was a second midwife who I just met right then and I immediately fell in love with her presence as well. She kept reassuring me it was ok to scream even though the RN said no haha! But delivery was so fast, this being my 3rd live birth after 3 miscarriages in 5 years, I felt Roya and Elvira were sent from heaven that night. We haven't been discharged like regular patients here which I didn't like, if you get sick or they get sick, once it's past 6 weeks they move on from you pretty quick. Though I didn't like the hospital treatment after they left, the room was only the nice experience but it has COVID era written all over it how it's so isolating, but you get your own washroom and tv with an iPad. The doctor there, Dr. Gryn was very pressuring and insensitive. So if you can before your due date, request as much post birth options once the midwives leave you. If you don't have to stay in the hospital - don't. Trust me. Go home happy with your baby if you can the same day. I hope for their sake they break ties with cortellucci, the hospital has bad reviews for a reason.

From start to finish, I had the most incredible experience with my first pregnancy while being cared for by my team of midwives: Cindy, Roya, & Samihah. I am extremely thankful for the whole experience - from their personal touch, to helping me make informed decisions along the way, answering my never ending questions, listening to my stories/feelings/whatever was on my mind, the birth experience, and the postpartum period including the home visit - I felt genuinely cared for and supported and will be forever grateful for this positive experience. In particular, I had an amazing birth experience of our first baby. Cindy Riggs was my midwife who delivered our healthy baby girl, Ava. My birth plan was to have our baby naturally - 100% unmedicated. With the encouragement and care and immense support I received from Cindy (and my hubby, of course) I was able to stick with my birth plan. I honestly couldnt have done it without her! When I needed her words of wisdom the most, she was there for me. I felt safe and in good hands in the most vulnerable moment of my life, which really helped my body relax and make the contractions work their magic. I didnt feel like just another patient. I knew she genuinely wanted to make sure I was ok and baby was ok and wanted the best outcome for us. Cindys passion for her profession and for people is so evident - she is truly following her calling. Even my hubby tells everyone what an experience the birth was and how having Cindy there really took the pressure off him as she never left the birthing room and was there for me every step of the way once I got to the hospital. We cant thank her enough!! I would highly recommend Family Care Midwives and the overall midwife experience! I will be back when were ready for baby #2
